her whole issue with him not falling head over heels for her off rip isn’t just because she’s a beautiful princess but because she’s internalized her commodification in this classist and (of course) patriarchal society.. she’s not mad that he doesn’t like her a person/mate, she’s mad that he won’t leave a yelp review.
and yeah, ig it’s accurate in BLATANTLY showing the issues faced by women under patriarchies, especially in the military and other high level positions.. LET ALONE the severe CPTSD the ML has. it’s giving a pro-capitalist romantasy critique of the military industrial complex.
this FL is insufferable. she’d be the worst possible teacher bc she doesn’t respect peoples boundaries AT ALL, and 70% of the story so far is the FL making her “bias” and the ogML uncomfortable. like what the fuck is she doing? clearly he’s interested in the FL, he’s very blunt about it, but the FL is just like “i heard you, but what if i completely disregard what you said and do something absurd. like noncon hugging your bro.” and hey- i love a lowkey brain damaged MC but this is just irritating.. and lowkey toxic?
